A fitting send off for a true club legend.

Barcelona welcomed Deportivo La Coruna to Camp Nou on Saturday for their final home game of the season, and more importantly, the last time Xavi will grace the pitch in a Barca shirt.

The Spanish midfielder will end his storied 24-year career with the La Liga giants this summer as he heads to Qatari outfit Al-Sadd.

However, the Catalans made sure they let Xavi know exactly how much his contribution over the years meant to the club by unveiling a huge banner in the stands of the iconic midfielder, just before kick-off, which even looked impressive from the skies.
